书名: Adam Smith's Marketplace of Life
作者: James R. Otteson (Author)
出版社: Cambridge University Press (October 28, 2002)

ISBN-13: 978-0521016568
Book Description
Adam Smith wrote two books, one about economics and the other about morality. How do these books go together? How do markets and morality mix? James Otteson provides a comprehensive examination and interpretation of Smith's moral theory and shows how his conception of the nature of morality applies to his understanding of markets, language and other social institutions. Considering Smith's notions of natural sympathy, the impartial spectator, human nature, and human conscience the author also addresses the issue of whether Smith thinks that moral judgments enjoy a transcendent sanction.
Review

"Otteson's book is an important contribution to our evolving understanding of Adam Smith." -- Philosophy in Review
